Nintendo has released a new song coming to Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion, revealing a brand new character and an interesting hint at a potential plot in the process.
Meet Dedf1sh, a DJ from the Splatoon universe who had a bright, promising future. As the tweet below states, Dedf1sh was pursuing the idea of ideal music, exploring the depths of an underground experimental facility before becoming "disinfected". Despite this turn of events, this new character continues to create music and these tunes can be heard throughout the facility.
While any further details surrounding this new musical being are yet to be revealed, we expect to bump into them as we explore the facility in the campaign. It's also quite likely that this "infection" could play a major part of the plot - we've already seen some strange new creatures that will appear in its murky depths and things are looking a little darker than what we're used to from the franchise.
If you want to check out the new song that was revealed, take a look here. In the meantime, though, let us know your thoughts on this new character and potential dark tones for the upcoming story.

The skin colouration of the character and the talk of 'infection' perhaps explains why all the enemies we've seen in trailers are that strange green-blue colour... Interesting stuff!
Love the blatant homage to Deadmau5.
The music sounds pretty good. This might be Nintendo's best dlc yet from the sounds of it. They are adding some serious single-player content. If they put everything on a card it might be the first time I buy Splatoon.
I didn't think they could make me more hyped about this than I already am, but Splatoon 2 does it again 🤣👍🏼
Hot & sexy ;p
Marina's sister.
For some reason I have the feeling that IS Marina.
I’m eternally intrigued by the lore of the world of Splatoon and it seems like this DLC is really going to explore it in a meaningful way. I can’t wait!
So do the Splatoon devs just think all DJs are evil or...?
I am more hyped by this DLC than Super Smash Bros!
@Yosher Naw, it isn't Marina. She has been shown talking in some of the trailers as not infected. Also, she shown in her new attire which doesn't match what is in this tweet. Apparently this DJ has been making music in the underground for a while, so the timelines don't seem to match up to be Marina.
Can’t believe how much I love this game. Easily one of my best gaming purchases this gen. Nier Automata being another. Got my money’s worth and then some.
@NapalmPsalm Good points, but the resemblance to Marina is quite uncanny, so I couldn't help but think that, maybe, Marina would be kidnapped or something and brainwashed at some point in the story. Which yes, it's too similar to Callie's story, but it wouldn't be the first time Nintendo made weird/dumb story decisions. But if she really has been underground for a while, then I suppose it couldn't be Marina, so that's good!
@RyanCraddock "消毒" does not mean "infected", but actually "disinfected" or "sanitized" (or sanitised over there?).
There are already wiki entries for "Sanitized Octarian" and it's the same concept. Please revise your article.
@GloverMist Since they're in fact "disinfected", I'm guessing this time around some mad Inkling scientist managed to cleanse or "anesthetize" Octarians into doing their bidding?
Sounds like fin rot
Is Deadf1sh a reference to Deadmau5? She even looks like an EDM artist!
I loved Splatoon on Wii U great game and I have yet to get Splatoon 2 for Switch, easily Nintendo's best newer franchise, the art style the character design the level layouts the gameplay all are such genius and so amazing and fantastic. I've been getting psyched about getting Splatoon 2 and the new incoming DLC which looks set to take the Splatoon universe to the next level of greatness I've just been clearing out some of my backlog first, so here in a couple weeks I'm set to finally sit down and focus on only Splatoon 2 and I can't wait trust me it has been a hard decision to wait and play through some of my backlog first .
@BlueBlur101 I believe so. People are tweeting about the reference too.
More awesome Splatunes? Sign me up!
Hmm already forgot when (or if it already) released, the DLC I mean.
We know when this comes out even though it has 80 levels speedrunners will be racing to see who can unlock octling the fastest. I'm looking forward to fighting agains't my 1st octling online. Though i will be completing the story before going online with this, so i will more than likely see more than one octling lol.
@GloverMist I agree! the whole mention of infection seems like it will bring something new to the splatoon community/world
